You guys are going kind of over board here. the xbone in no way failing or in need of saving at this time.

 

[Vibranium]

Who gives a shit about Xbone Vs PS4? The real question on everyone's mind is how much the Wii U sold.

That too actually, I want the numbers for the Wii U!

 

[Gintoki313]

I'm glad to see South Park The Stick of Truth sold so well. That game may be short, but it's still fun to play. I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel or something, with even more references.

 

[Byakuya769]

Titanfail, brehs.

 

[Minions]

What a crock of shit. I expected to finally have an actual number for Microsoft... the last one we had is like 2+ months old now. For all we know the Xbox One is sitting at 3.9million with 1.1 million on shelves... I guess we will be able to figure out what the numbers should be anyway. PR is gonna PR.

Back to the Shipped vs Sold game PR.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

i thought they just basically paid for it to be made since no one else would

If that was the case, then why is Titan Fall not allowed to come to PS4?

 

[staticneuron]

I have a X1 and still went this route

Same here. I must admit to enjoying KI arcade mode. I am not normally so nostalgic but the did a great job.

Now looking forward to the next halo and QB. I wonder if those will help.

 

[MaulerX]

It's over, period. Microsoft lost their last ace, and that's the end of their Xbox One hopes and dreams.

It's not hyperbole, it's not fanboy drivel. It is LITERALLY it for Xbox One. Microsoft has nothing left, nothing they can reveal tomorrow would fix the hole now created. There is no reason left for any one, hardcore or casual, to substantively invest in a Xbox One. Except if they want to play Titanfall. Which will also come to PS4 at some point.

Sony took the last reason away that anyone would NEED to own a Xbox One over a PS4 (except TV SPORTS KINECT LOL GAMING), and the cavalcade of tiny titles that will be nice but won't stir up any sales is not going to salvage the bloated, overdesigned behemoth that was Xbox One.

There may be some hardcore gamer's that stick around. Some did it for Gamecube. But the last bell tolled. Maybe next decade.

The age of Microsoft is done.

LMAO. Oh boy...

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Wasn't this with the price slashing right and left?

 

[TrojanBlade]

Yep with all the silence from MS, this was expected. No way, MS would have been quiet if they had won the NPD.

Bravo Sony!! now gives us real dates for #DC and more OS features.

EA/Respawn bet on the wrong horse this time but the biggest loser is MS as TF didn't do much to its share.

 

[Albo]

There's got to be a price cut coming. If they were prepared to do what seems like several significant cuts for the UK then they'll surely do one for the US.

 

[Chuck Norris]

Doesn't seem like Xbox One is selling well, the shipped to retailer increase doesn't seem very big

Can somebody launch align WiiU and Xbox One with this new data?

 

[condompickle]

Sony is rippin an tearin! I thought ms would of sold more this month. Good job sony!

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Who gives a shit about Xbone Vs PS4? The real question on everyone's mind is how much the Wii U sold.

One of my friends bought one last month, so at least one. I'd imagine we can come pretty close to the actual numbers based on such anecdotal evidence.

 

[Uno Venova]

So the gap in sales between this month and last month actually got bigger? Because people were using the close Feb numbers as an indication XB1 would easily take March.

 

[juicyfruitas]

msft really needed to purchase titanfall pc exclusivity and delay/kill its release.

for many hardcore gamers there was little reason to purchase an x1 when that demographic already had access to the best version on their gaming rigs

 

[NavyPharaoh]

This is good for us gamers. Microsoft has been shitting on is for years now we gave them their wake up call. Things can only better if they swallow their pride like Sony did on the ps3.

The xbox 1 must

1. Lose kinect
2. Drop the price
3. Do better with xbox live cause it sucks with all the ads & paywalls

Over 5 million sold to retailers lol. With the amount I see stacked up everywhere it'll be July before that is sold

 

[Aquamarine]

Told you guys that predicting 500K+ for Xbox One is extremely unlikely.

There's just no precedent for it.

 

[JaggedSac]

So PS3 sold like 40k?

 

[GhaleonEB]

311,000 units. My god, that's all it could muster with Titanfall gun there.

And bundles. And retailer discounts. And a huge marketing campaign. I'm not super duper shocked, but that's gotta be sobering for MS. Nothing short of a real price cut is going to do it, at least in the near term. They've chucked it all at the wall and it didn't stick.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

They hyped it to high heavens, but only people who seemed to care enough to fork out money were existing Xbox One owners.

It does showcase just how little E3 awards, hype, enthusiast gaming media means. The game barely exists in the conciseness of most normal people out there. Yet in our little gaming world its the biggest game release since GTA5, its certainly been billed that way.

I think it is clear who current Xbox One owners are. They are the ones who didn't get offended much by Microsofts screw ups. Microsoft has yet to change their negative image in most people's minds.

 

[Piggus]

Great top 3! All awesome games.

 

[Chobel]

I disagree. 5 million consoles in 6 months is not bad at all. The PS4 is just selling extremely well.

5 million sold-in to retailers. The sold-through to consumers is probably around 4.2 mil.

 

[Amir0x]

I wonder what this does for Titanfall as a franchise, though. By default, doesn't it become less valuable now as a series someone would want to buy exclusivity for?

 

[Raide]

60k?

I cannot tel if thats really good beating out MS and all their Titanfall hype, or really bad that even with Sony having all the hype behind them they could only beat it by 60k units.

Come on Nintendo, just let us know you're still alive!

 

[BuzzJive]

XB1 sales are DOWN weekly from last month. That's really the biggest worry I'd think.

 

[andromeduck]

I wonder how much TitanFall sales were just due to bundle.

Were there price cuts in the US?

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

I think the DRM debacle angered people more than we thought. They certainly didn't respond to a price drop and a game bundle like we expected. It is like they are numb to Microsoft right now.

Yeah, it's turned to apathy for MS I think.

Apathy is NOT what you want as a seller of goods and services. Hate you can spin, apathy kills.

 

[AstroNut325]

Melt it down! Melt it ALLLLLL DOWN!

Edit:
I hope MS cuts the price to $399. That would force Sony to price cut.

 

[slabrock]

Isn't the X1 like considerably ahead of the 360 at the same point?. I swear the amazing success of PS4 is clouding peoples minds when it comes to X1 sales.

I thought the 360 had some supply issues a few months after launch

 

[Hawk269]

I hope we get the Kinect jettison. I have literally have dozens of posts saved up for crow-serving from the people who insulted me for even considering the Kinect might be dropped from the package as a viable future XBO strategy

The fact that you keep that information just seems sad. Really sad. I feel sorry for you man.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

You guys are going kind of over board here. the xbone in no way failing or in need of saving at this time.

Yea, it's perfectly healthy to be outsold in your main (Only) market when you just released your "system seller", along with retailers slashing prices on bundles in order to move their units.

 

[Black Republican]

Wonder if they're shitting themselves right now for not actually putting TF on PS4

they couldnt

 

[LuuKyK]

What a laughable performance for the One. Especially after all the hype surrounding Titanfall, like it was the second coming of Jesus Christ.

 

[Quadraphonic]

This topic is incredibly fun but I have to point something out being a GAF watcher for many years.

PlayStation family and Xbox family. It's funny that both companies have used the same exact spin.

So, you've watched for many years, but are unfamiliar with the repercussions of bring up SonyToo™?

 

[javac]

Any big games for the Vita or 3DS that released recently? Wonder how they did.

 

[DeviantBoi]

You know it's bad news for Microsoft when Arthur Gies is talking about the post office on his a Twitter feed.

 

[Balmung421]

Looks like I didn't make this for nothing.

I never thought we would see one of these again this generation. Glad consoles are still selling so well, especially the PS4

 

[Foshy]

I wonder how much 3DS sold. That thing's slowly sliding into dangerous territory.

 

[Misterinenja]

.

Hahaha oh man this bring back the memories.

Too bad I can't be as passionate about these thing nowadays but maybe I'll be back some day.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

The crazy thing is this might be the closest MS will ever get to being number one for perhaps at least a year. They went balls deep in March to be number one. Now they are left twisting in the wind with market confusion on what the price really is, and will not be the lead on any multiplat.

Are they just going to keep the console at the discounted price? Moving it back to $499 seems like poison, but MS seems fed up bleeding money from the Xbox division. Methinks that kinectless ski is coming by year end at $399

 

[FiggyCal]

311k isn't even a 100k increase to february which was a 4 week month
so February:
258k/4 = 64.5k per week.
and March:
311k/5 = 62.2k per week.

IT'S A DECREASE IN SALES PER WEEK???!!?!?! TITANFALL anti-systemseller confirmed???

Feb to March is usually a decrease. An increase of any kind is a positive sign.

 

[Kusagari]

I think the question now is if MS will still fight for Titanfall 2 exclusivity.

 

[NolbertoS]

Finally the wait is OVER and OMG, I was expecting MS, to win after all those price cuts. Its not a good sign when the market demographics aren't willing to bite on sales.

 

[Josh7289]

Xbone is Xdone.

I exaggerate but damn, MS has got some serious work to do.

 

[Bold One]

Classic gaffer overreaction. Grats to Sony

 

[Rebel Leader]

I wonder how much TitanFall sales were just due to bundle.

Were there price cuts in the US?

$449 instead of $499

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

** JOKE POST ** ** JOKE POST **

Kevin Dent, Arthur Gies, SpeedyBlueDude, TimDog,

Your boys took one hell of a beating!

Why do you assume I care?

 

[Walpurgisnacht]

You know it's bad news for Microsoft when Arthur Gies is talking about the post office on his a Twitter feed.

LOL

 

[BrokenIcarus]

yeah seriously. that would be insane if true. truly nuclear

Well I took the numbers directly from http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=784224

I didn't actually look it up, but I'm pretty sure March had one week more for tracking, it's been said on GAF dozens of times.
